Introduction:
Broadcom (formerly Avago) V-Pin HFBR sereis plastic optical fiber (POF) connectors are widely recognized for their reliability and ease of use in industrial and data communication applications. The series includes:
Simplex plug-in connectors: HFBR-4501Z (gray) / HFBR-4511Z (blue)
Simplex snap-in connectors: HFBR-4503Z / HFBR-4513Z
Duplex snap-in connectors: HFBR-4506Z / HFBR-4516Z
Simplex in-line plastic snap-in connectors: HFBR-4531Z / HFBR-4533Z / HFBR-4535Z
Simplex plug-in plastic snap-in connector: HFBR-4532Z
Most models feature metal crimp rings for secure fiber termination, except the in-line and plug-in plastic types which use an integrated snap-in plastic design.
The HFBR‑4501Z/4511Z connectors, part of Broadcom’s Versatile Link series, are low-cost yet robust options. With snap-in coupling, fast assembly, and color-coded housings, they are ideally suited for high-volume industrial use.
These V-Pin connectors are extensively used in demanding environments such as ABB inverters, Hitachi drilling systems, and Siemens bus networks, offering excellent EMI immunity and electrical isolation.
Features:
EMI-free, reliable signal transmission
Easy snap‑in friction-style coupling
Standard crimp-ring included for secure retention
Flame-retardant VALOX material rated UL94 V‑0
Operating from –40 °C to +85 °C, suitable for rugged environments
Fully RoHS compliant, ideal for global deployment
